Have you ever wondered if sport contributes more to society than health and fitness? The Sports Studies major takes a look at sport, activity and leisure from sociological, historical, economic and psychological perspectives. As a student in the Sports Studies major you'll develop a "big picture" understanding of the role and importance of sport, including how different social factors influence exercise motivation and participation, the history of sport, and the relationship between sport and health. The major also offers a range of courses about the human body and its nervous, sensory and muscular systems, which are taught through the School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences.

The Bachelor of Arts provides you with a well-rounded education, the ability to think and analyse, to write effectively, and the specialist knowledge gained in your major. As a result, a BA opens up a range of career opportunities including but not limited to:

• advertising, marketing, PR and media
• arts curatorship
• communications
• community/voluntary sector
• foreign affairs and trade
• government sector
• project management
• theatre direction and production.

Alternatively, you may choose to progress to honours, which further enhances your career prospects. Many employers, such as those in the public and finance sectors, require you to hold an honours degree.
